Ruby Albury

As a teenager, Ruby suffered from anxiety and would do anything she could to avoid public speaking. Despite this, she signed up to be part of a group of students to present at one of our Youth Conferences. Ruby attributes to being part of this to helping her to gain confidence within herself and she now teaches uni students. We invited Ruby back in 2016 to talk about her experiences at a sponsor event to launch the Melbourne Water Kids Teaching Kids Conference.

Sarah Pilkington

Here's a quote from Sarah's time as a KTK student in 2008/2009:
"At the Kids Teaching Kids Conference you inspired hundreds and hundreds of kids, just like us girls who participated in Kids Teaching Kids, to do anything we possibly can; and for someone to do that so naturally was something amazing to be a part of."
In 2017, Sarah brought her students from East Loddon P-12 College in regional Victoria, to present at the Melbourne Water KTK Conference.
